That works if you shoot everyone in one location. I try to shoot my
formal
portraits outdoors and move the groups to different spots in order to
achieve some variety. I may shoot the bride and groom in four or five
locations. I frequently find that I have only minutes between the
ceremony
and reception to do the posed shots. I always have a tripod in the
car but
rarely pull it out as it gets in the way more often than not.
I'm not saying you were wrong, I'm just saying what worked for me in
my circumstance. It was a rather unusual wedding insofar as the
ceremony took place at the reception hall, and the reception
immediately followed the ceremony, so there was no "church wedding
then go take pix in the park for a couple of hours before the
reception" thing happening.
All the shots were in the reception venue (not in the hall, but in the
same venue) and although there were different locations, it was a
matter of picking up the tripod/camera and moving it to another room.
It all worked for me, but I recognize that different things work for
different photographers in different circumstances.
Agreed. And I may try a tripod for the portraits one of these days,
particularly if my assistant shows up:-). i always make at least one
11 x 14 freebie for the bride and groom, and I've never had a problem
with sharpness, but a tripod certainly doesn't hurt in that regard.
cheers,
frank
